Silk passementerie without Jet upon
il is fashionable trimming for black silk
dresses.
The rsgged-edged papers retain their
popularity to great extent, and the new
shapes are found made in this way.
Much Of the garniture of new hats is
placed at the back, the feathers, velvet,
loops and other trimmings falling well
over the crown.
For children the loose blouse holds its
own in favor, and is shown pleated,
SHRED, and made after variety Of pretty
patterns.
A prevailing fancy is to trim wedding
dresses, of whatever white material, silk

pendants mixed with folnces Of white
lace.
The Grecian knot of hair, slightly pro
truding from the center Of the back Of the

A Cynic has defined an anomoly to be
woman playing whist. Women will have
their revenge in the belief that this man
was q routed antagonist who had received
MS defeat at the hands of some woman.
II an anomaly must necessarily be of
feminine gender, the better definition of
It would be woman who can sit con-
tentedly in place she calls home, how
ever CircumsCribed, destitute of the little
that only her hand can sup
ply. There is certainly lack of true
lemininity in that woman who does NOT
shrink from the ,h2eeness
that accompanies mere utility 60 cOmbi-
nation of utility and beauty is what makes
'fthe house beautiful" of whichseo much
has been written, and genuiRe woman
adorns 1t with her presence and her Taste.
In Its incipisRcY the decofatiye craze
ran to wild tx tremes. There seemed
to be no ;Hexnds 80 its eccentrieiases AID
Absurdities. Asgrkta shovel intfe granaTy
is the right thingsn the right place, but
when one stum5Ees over it on entering a
superior!y f9aRshed drawing room, how
ever muct1Sat may be bedecked with
ribbons aud painted with inconceivable
lowers the incongruity is too apparent to
elicit any admiration. The same is'true
OF rolling pIas and other domessief mple- ]
ments that have strayede from their !
place.
The decorations of hoHe cannot be
